Bill > SB659

Introduced Session

Under current law, if a tenant fails to pay rent when due, the landlord may terminate the tenancy by giving the tenant a notice requiring the tenant to pay rent or vacate the premises within at least five days. This bill extends this period for paying rent or vacating to 30 days. Also under current law, if a landlord brings an eviction action against a tenant for failing to pay rent, the case may not be dismissed based on the fact that the landlord accepts payment from the tenant after the eviction action is filed. This bill provides that an eviction action must be dismissed if the tenant pays all rent owed, and any other payment required by the court, at any point before judgment is entered in the eviction action.
